This place is magical! We booked a pet room and it was equipped with a doggy bed and bowls. So sweet! The room was lovely with a wood burning fireplace and addtional wood is sitting right outside the door. The Prow restaurant is delicious !!! The $20 martini was a bit steap but worth it as a birthday present to myself! The trail to downtown is a few minutes away and i was told the walk to downtown is about 20 minutes. The bus stop is across the street. This was my 2nd time staying here and its my favourite place in banff !

Upon arriving we already knew wed be coming back! The hot tub is extremely well kept, the rooms are cozy yet clean, and there is firewood provided for the fireplaces. A short drive to downtown banff, it is in a convenient location. A perfect winter stay!

Early winter getaway.
A group of us went to Banff for the Barra McNeil concert and stayed at Buffalo mountain Lodge. We had a great time. Decorations were wonderful. We were impressed with how well kept the walkways were as it had snowed and could have been treacherous!

This property is in a nice quiet location with trees and mountain views. A nice touch with the stone fireplace in the rooms even if you don’t use it and the restaurant on site. A negative would be the constant heat on all night with no way to control it.

I love this hotel and have been coming here at least once or twice a year since I've lived in Calgary. The only reason why I didn't rate this stay 5-stars is because the lights inside the hot tub were broken when I was there recently. It seems like a trivial thing, but they have such an incredible hot tub... it was a shame that it wasn't lit properly, it made it seem a bit dingy and uninviting this time around. Everything else was great.
